Le Soir

During the 2017-18 season, mezzo-soprano Karine Deshayes performed on our stage both in Poulenc en Mère Marie's Dialogues des Carmélites and in a recital program . In 2022, she renewed the performance by playing Valentine in Les Huguenots by Meyerbeer while offering the public a more intimate evening, devoted to French melody.

Accompanied by the musicians of the Ensemble Contraste - with which she recorded this program - the singer pays tribute to the constitutive melodies of French romanticism, resulting from the prolific vitality of the Parisian salons attended by Hector Berlioz, Charles Gounod, Camille Saint-Saëns or again Gabriel Fauré. In addition to these vocal pieces, musical interludes will highlight some of the most characteristic pages of this turn of the century.
